Thanks, Brian. Is there a readily available relay you could recommend? What is the best way to wire it in?

So, whichever switch you end up with, take the opportunity to add a starter relay while you have things apart. The new switch will last forever. Some times, adding a starter relay can prolong the life of an iffy switch, but yours sounds pretty far gone. Still, since you should be installing a relay anyhow, can't hurt to do that first and see if it helps. bs _____ From: Ben Ament <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, October 22, 2014 3:42 PM Subject: [alfa] Spider ignition switch I fear a worn out ignition switch on my 75 Spider. Intermittently, there is no power at all; occasionally, there is power to dash, fuel pump, etc., then when starter begins to turn everything goes dead. All replacement switches have different wiring than my car and prices range from $140 to $189 (ouch!). Anyone with experience with these replacements? Advice? BTW, new battery and all grounds and connections are good.
